The adventure continues on the artist’s third solo album, \u003cem\u003ePLAY ME\u003c\/em\u003e, which will be released March 13 by \u003cstrong\u003eMatador Records\u003c\/strong\u003e. The lead track ‘\u003cem\u003eNOT TODAY\u003c\/em\u003e’ is available now, accompanied by a short film directed by \u003cstrong\u003eRodarte\u003c\/strong\u003e fashion label founders and filmmakers \u003cstrong\u003eKate\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eLaura Mulleavy\u003c\/strong\u003e with director of photography \u003cstrong\u003eChristopher Blauvelt\u003c\/strong\u003e. The song brings out a poetic tension in Gordon’s voice. “I started singing in a way I hadn’t sung in a long time,” she says. “This other voice came out.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePLAY ME\u003c\/em\u003e is distilled and immediate, expanding Gordon’s sonic palette to include more melodic beats and the motorik drive of krautrock. “We wanted the songs to be short,” Gordon says of her continued collaboration with LA producer \u003cstrong\u003eJustin Raisen\u003c\/strong\u003e (Charli XCX, Sky Ferreira, Yves Tumor). “We wanted to do it really fast. It’s more focused, and maybe more confident. I always kind of work off of rhythms, and I knew I wanted it to be even more beat-oriented than the last one. Justin really gets my voice and my lyrics and he understands how I work—that came forth even more on this record.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2019, Gordon’s debut solo LP \u003cem\u003eNo Home Record\u003c\/em\u003e proved she was attuned as ever to vanguard sounds, mixing avant-rap and footwork into her sonic conceptual art. \u003cem\u003eThe Collective\u003c\/em\u003e, in 2024, was brick-heavy and even more daring, led by the tectonic industrial clatter of her packing-list-cum-rage-rap banger ‘\u003cem\u003eBYE BYE\u003c\/em\u003e’ and earning two Grammy nominations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fast-following \u003cem\u003ePLAY ME\u003c\/em\u003e processes, in Gordon’s inimitable way, the collateral damage of the billionaire class: the demolition of democracy, technocratic end-times fascism, the A.I.-fueled chill-vibes flattening of culture - where dark humor voices the absurdity of modern life. But despite its frequent outward gaze, \u003cem\u003ePLAY ME\u003c\/em\u003e is an interior record, one in which a heightened emotionality pulses through physical jams, rejecting definitive statements in favor of an inquisitiveness that keeps Gordon searching, ever in process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Matador Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":57064887222617,"sku":"SDZ-19610","price":12.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Kim_Gordon_-_Play_Me_-_CD_-_2026.jpg?v=1768398820","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/kim-gordon-play-me","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
